Nadi Dosha & Chart Matching

In Vedic astrology marriage match is done primarily by matching the Nakshatra of a body and a girl. In North India this Nakshatra based match is called Ashtakuta Guna Milap or 36 point match. Following eight (Ashta in Sanskrit) agreements are generally observed -

Varna (for Work compatibility, point allotted - 1)

Vashya (for Dominance compatibility, point allotted - 2)

Tara (for Destiny compatibility, point allotted - 3)

Yoni (for Mentality compatibility, point allotted - 4)

Graha Maitri (for General compatibility, point allotted - 5)

Gana (for Guna-level compatibility, point allotted - 6)

Bhakoota (for Love compatibility, point allotted - 7)

Nadi (for Health compatibility, point allotted - 8)

The above compatibility is based on the Nakshatra occupied by Moon in proposed husband's and wife's chart. This test takes a deeper look at the compatibility between two – psychological, spiritual, physical and sub-conscious level. As you can see from the above table, Nadi has given the most points and hence regarded as the most important factor by astrologers. The Nadi disagreement between two is also called Nadi Dosha and generally regarded as the strict ‘no’ for the marriage.

There are three different Nadis – Adi (start), Madhya (middle) and Antya (end) and they represent "Prakriti" of an individual that is his/her body constitution. As per Ayurveda there are three different Prakritis, vz Kaph, Vaat and Pita and Adi, Madhya and Antya Nadi are equivalent to that only. The exact Nakshatra based classification is as follows –

Antya Nadi

(Kapha)

Madhya Nadi

(Pitta)

Adi Nadi

(Vata)

Kritika

Bharani

Aswini

Rohini

Mrigasira

Ardra

Aslesha

Pushya

Punarvasu

Magha

Poorvaphalguni

Uttaraphalguni

Swati

Chitra

Hasta

Visakha

Anuradha

Jyehsta

Uttarashadha

Poorvashadha

Moola

Sravana

Dhanshita

Satabisha

Revati

Uttarabhadrapada

Poorvabhadrapada

Nadi Dosha exists if proposed husband and wife are having same Nadi. Scientifically speaking having same Prakriti means their offspring will be physically weaker. If Nadis of proposed husband and wife are different it is only then marriage is recommended so they may have physically stronger children.

So how important is Nadi dosha in my opinion? I personally don't give much importance to Nadi Dosha as given by astrologers generally . In my opinion overall analyis of horoscope should be given precedence over than Nadi dosha. For example, 5th house represent the children in a horoscope and Jupiter is putrakaraka. An astrologer should analyze the 5th house and putrakaraka of both the charts and if these are strong, there is no need to worry about Nadi dosha. Nadi dosha is a quick method but I think the detailed and more accurate method (horoscope analysis) should be given more importance.

simple and plane to understand ....I have a question.....as what our family astrologer told us that if the nadi dosh exist we should check if the blood groups are both are different.....is it true?????

Nadi Dosha is the most important factor for 36 points match. But 36 points match alone does not decide compatibility. An astrologer need to see mangal dosha / kuja dosham, shadashtaka and most importantly birth chart/ kundli of the one you want to marry. So among all the factors that an astrologer should consider, Nadi dosha is a very small factor. To understand it, please have a look at my video - Horoscope Matching

me and my boyfriend are of the same nadi. We are about to formally get engaged and our families are serious about astrology.our score out of 36 was only 18. he is magha and i am krittika.

i already have a hereditary condition and i am very worried about the children problem. I am very worried about the ek nadi dosh. We have also ended up having serious problems in our relationship and it has turned sour though we are trying our best to make it work.

I would rather be childless than have a special child. I could never forgive myself over it.

HelloWe matched kundlis of my brother and a girl( we consult with 2 pandits)they have naadi dosh(aadi naadi). One pandit told us that naadi dosh is crucial for only brahmins n as we are not brahmins so we dont have to perform any remedy while d other pandit said that you have to perform mahamrityunjay jaap n gold naadi daan. My parents although dnt believe in these things. But am little worried after reading all ill effets of naadi dosha. Will you please suggest me what sgould we do now. I vl b grateful to you sir.

Your Astrologer

I am Punit Pandey and I write this blog. People call me "Hi-Tech Astrologer" or "Digital Age Astrologer" because of my extensive usage of technology in astrology. I strongly believe that technology can help in improving accuracy of an astrologer tremendously.

My interest in astrology started around two decades back when I picked up few astrology books from a small bookshop in my village. Though later on I realized that my inclination towards Jyotish, Ayurveda and Tantra etc. was very much natural as I am a Bhrigu Gotriya Brahmin and my forefathers were also astrologers. I studied various systems of astrology including Parashari, Jaimini, Tajik, Western, Krishnamurthi and Lal Kitab, and found all these systems wonderful.

I worked as 'Associate Editor' for 'Vedic Astrology and Spirituality', a monthly magazine published from NJ, U.S.A. I am 'Jyotish Visharad', though personally I don't see these certifications any valuable. I have also written extensively for various magazines and news papers like Kadambini, Dainik Jagran, Prabhat Khabar etc.

I have also studied astronomy and mathematical astrology and that is the reason I contributed to many astrology software and websites. The software like 'Mobile Kundli' - the first detailed astrology software for Palmtop (pocket) computers, AstroSMS – first SMS based astrology software, AstroWAP – the first astrology software for WAP & GPRS Mobile phones etc. I am also behind AstroSage.com, the Web 2.0 astrology software & among the most popular Vedic astrology websites in the world. I am also behind some of the biggest astrology communities on Internet like KP Astrology & Lal Kitab communities.
